The file that seems to be interfering is
hdlist.Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u).cz

Yup... the other day I deleted "update_source" to resolve this problem;
yet, here it is again in urpmi... obviously that only solved my MCC
problem, not urpmi's...

Well... if I don't give a name, it complains about 8.2:
# urpmi.removemedia
unable to take medium "Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u)" into
account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Updates for Mandrake Linux
8.2 (ftp1u)] exists
the entry to remove is missing
(one of Installation CD 1 (x86) (cdrom1), Installation CD 2 (x86)
(cdrom2), International CD (x86) (cdrom3), disc 1 Download Edition
Installation CD (x86) (cdrom1), disc 2 Download Edition Second
Installation CD (x86) (cdrom2), disc 3 Download Edition Contributions CD
(x86) (cdrom3), disc 3 Download Edition Contributions CD (x86) (cdrom4),
update_source)
Then, trying to remove the medium, either like this:
# urpmi.removemedia "Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u)"
unable to take medium "Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2 (ftp1u)" into
account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Updates for Mandrake Linux
8.2 (ftp1u)] exists
trying to select inexistent medium "Updates for Mandrake Linux 8.2
(ftp1u)"

man urpmi.removemedia states:
<names> is a list of names you first told to urpmi.addmedia
but, I never used urpmi.addmedia; Mdk did that... all I did was format
the HD, install 8.2 and update it to 9.0... so I don't know the magic
incantation that's expected... the error gives me the feeling that the
tools won't help...
I tried moving the 8.2 file out of /var/lib/urpmi but that didn't help
either.
